Geologic deposits containing fossils with remains of non-biomineralized tissues (ie
Konservat-Lagerstätten) provide key insights into ancient organisms and ecosystems. Such …

The study of the Early Cretaceous terrestrial Jehol Biota, which provides a rare window for
reconstruction of a Lower Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem, is reviewed with a focus on …

Fossil insects from the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) Crato Formation of north-east Brazil are
preserved as goethite replacements in laminated limestones of lacustro-lagoonal origin …

Authigenic pyrite preserves non-biomineralized tissues in the fossil record under
exceptional circumstances. Diagenetic models and taphonomic experiments demonstrate …

The insect fossils recorded in the lithographic limestones of the Crato Formation (Aptian of
the Araripe Basin, Brazil) have a high degree of morphological fidelity of external and …

Soft-tissue preservation provides palaeobiological information that is otherwise lost during
fossilization. In Brazil, the Early Cretaceous Santana Formation contains fish with …

Exceptionally well-preserved three-dimensional insects with fine details and even labile
tissues are ubiquitous in the Crato Member Konservat Lagerstätte (northeastern Brazil) …

Lagerstätten, places where soft‐bodied organisms became mineralized, provide a
substantial bulk of palaeobiological information, but the detailed mechanisms of how soft …

Abstract The lower Cretaceous Yixian and Jiufotang formations contain numerous
exceptionally well-preserved invertebrate, vertebrate and plant fossils that comprise the …

Many studies have improved our understanding of the mode of preservation at the Crato
fossil Lagerstätte. The high degree of preservation of the Crato mineralized insects is …
